Program Management System

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could share you program management system, if you have one? I'm after some inspiration/ideas as to how to manage our system.

Currently we have about 200 programs, 24 CMMs and in the current state anybody could technically change any of these programs. We have a CMM server designated to CMM programs and basically our operators copy and paste the desired programs to the machine C:drive. The operators then go into online mode to calibrate their probe tips and then go into operator mode to continue and measure components.

I would like a system or an interface where programs can be copied locally from the server and an option to not go into online mode. Following that, I would also like a system where the programs can only be changed/deleted/added by designated engineers/technicians. Would this mean putting a password on the server?

I'm not the best at computer systems generally speaking aha.

Any advice would be greatly received.

Many thanks, Ben

    I am a web programmer and do use "Version Control" systems to manage all the code I write and deploy. There are tools like SVN (subversion) that work on binary files and folders that allow you to maintain a master repository on a server and pull copies to local machines. It can be set up so anybody can get a file, but only certain people can add/modify/delete files. This would also give you change logs and trace-ability and rollback capabilities.

    Does anybody use such a system for their CMM programs?
